You should now be sitting with a base map showing what your property looks like now & 3 overlays showing your weather conditions, a rough idea of zones for the property and where your water is currently located.
Take out the Haves, Needs & Wants document and with this document create your master plan it is usually a mixture of all of these documents and really requires its own schematic for this is your big picture your long term vision for the property. This is the illustrative map which will show tings like where you want your food forest, a water feature, the driveways and your veggie beds.
It will not show detail e.g what you are growing in those vegetable beds or trees in your orchard or plant names for windbreaks all those things will come later but it will guide you into making the intentional decisions for your property which are ecologically sound, low in maintenance and with an end result being a productive property.
Below is a simple design just to give some idea of what is possible.
